Focus group analysis revealed an increase in hope, coping efficacy and intentions to engage more openly with other prisoners regarding personal well-being as a result of the SOMS programme. However, fear of stigmatisation by other inmates and a general lack of trust in others remained as barriers to help-seeking.
The implications of this study, the first to evaluate a sport-based mental health intervention in prison, are that a short intervention with low costs can increase prisoner knowledge of mental health, intentions to engage in available well-being opportunities and increase a sense of hope, at least in the short term.

This paper aims to explore prisoners' experiences and perceptions of health-care service provision in New South Wales, Australia.
In February and March 2017, 24 focus groups, consisting of 128 participants, were undertaken using semi-structured interviews that explored experiences of health care in prison.
A conceptualisation of the prisoners' health-care experience around the core category of access to health care emerged from the data. Enablers or barriers to this access were driven by three categories a prison construct - how the prisoners "see" the prison system influencing access to health care; a health-care system construct - how the prisoners "see" the prison health-care system and the pathways to navigate it; and personal factors. Communication was the category with the greatest number of relational connections.
This study takes a pragmatic approach to the analysis of data, the findings forming the basis for a future quantitative study. The findings identify communication as a key issue for access to health care.
This study provides first-hand accounts of enablers and barriers to accessing health-care services in the prison environment. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to identify access to health care as a core category and is of value to health workers and researchers that work with the prison population.

Although generally in good physical health on entry to Europe, migrant detainees have complex health needs, often related to mental health. Very little is known about the current health situation and health care needs of migrants when detained in European immigration detention settings. The review aims to synthesize the qualitative literature available on this issue from the perspectives of staff and migrants.
The authors undertook a synthesis of extant qualitative literature on migrant health experience and health situation when detained in European immigration detention settings; retrieved as part of a large-scale scoping review. Included records (?=?4) from Sweden and the UK representing both detainee and staff experiences were charted, synthesised and thematically analysed.
Three themes emerged from the analysis, namely, conditions in immigration detention se inform appropriate staff support and health service responses.Rising societal pressures for the Filipino urban poor population - precipitating increased crime - alongside widespread corruption, have led to many children being both lawfully and unlawfully detained in child rehabilitation centres. Far from rehabilitating, detained children live in prisonlike conditions, despite the illegality of child imprisonment in the country. Their human rights disregarded; they suffer from abuse, neglect and a multitude of health issues, with no access to healthcare. This study aims to explore the experiences and perceptions of formerly detained looked-after adolescents and their carers, on the priority health issues and key health determinants of detained Filipino children.
A qualitative study was conducted in June 2019 in a Filipino children's home for previously detained children. In total, 18 semi-structured interviews, using photo-elicitation, were conducted to retrospectively explore the experiences of formerly detained children and their carers, who were purposively sampleThis study combats this by exploring the experiences of formerly detained children and their carers, to retrospectively assess the health of illegally detained Filipino Children.This paper aims to determine whether criminal justice (CJ) stigma affects health outcomes and health care utilization.
The authors reviewed medical and public health literature through May 2020. Structured terms were used to search four databases identifying articles that related to CJ stigma. Included articles were in English, examined CJ stigma and had people with CJ involvement as subjects. The studies without health outcomes were excluded. Quantitative and qualitative studies were reviewed and assessed for bias. Results were synthesized into a systematic review.
The search yielded 25 studies relating to CJ stigma and health. Three stigma domains were described in the literature perceived or enacted, internalized and anticipated stigma. Tenuous evidence linked CJ stigma to health directly (psychological symptoms) and indirectly (social isolation, health care utilization, high-risk behaviors and housing or employment). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Fedratinib-SAR302503-TG101348.html Multiple stigmatized identities may interact to affect health and health care utilization.
